Second day of Classes & British Drinking Laws

Well yesterday was the second day of classes. It turns out I have the same professor for both my econ classes, lets hope he's a good one! These two classes are going to be my favorite, econ has always been the most interesting/fun subject for me but with a european perspective I think it will be even more intriguing. Classes in London seem to be very reading heavy with little busy work which is nice but its hard to find enough time to do all the readings! After class me and my friends hung around the dorm which is full of not only NYU kids but also kids from all over the world. We hung out in the common room and played foosball/pool while making new friends and enjoying some beer/cider. One problem I have with America is that drinking is so closeted for most teenagers that it promotes binge drinking, but here its more a social/public event which takes much of the edge off. Even the NYU London dorms (which I'm not housed in) forbid drinking in the common areas, which is silly... were not in America! Enough of that, off to Paris in a few hours, can't wait! Although I'm a little worried about the language barrier.
